A hard day

We have been lucky enough to have Dave's sister and her brand new baby staying with us this past week. I wanted to attempt to take some pictures of her because she's so beautiful, so here are a couple of them.







Katelyn has been so good with her and loves to look at her and even kiss her on the forehead. Well, she was having a hard day that day and when I started snapping the pictures there was a bit of jealousy. Oh boy. It's hard to be 19 months old! Can you see the crocodile tears in her eyes?

It's set! He's on his way!

The date has been set! Our second little bundle of joy, our baby boy, will be born next Friday! Dave and I are really excited and I'm sure Katelyn is way excited to start her new role of being a big sister. My clothes are getting more and more limited which is another indication that the time is coming very, very soon. :) Here goes our new adventure of being a parent of two! Feel free to leave your advice of being a parent of two, a parent of a boy, or any other comment or criticism you'd like to leave. :) We'll post pictures soon!

Spring is coming!

Here are a few fun pics I took of Katelyn the other day at my parent's home because it's getting warmer and warmer. No comparison to AZ, but awesome for UT. She might not smile much for her photo shoots, but she is definitely a character. She loves to point to things, as you can see from the last couple shots. She's 18 months now and just a riot to watch.

But first, this morning when I went to get her, this is what I found. I've been trying to teach her to take her sleeper off before her baths, but she has a hard time getting her feet out. Well, it looks like she figured it out by herself! I had a good laugh over my cute naked baby who was sitting there reading her book.

Nursery!

Who would have guessed this day would ever come? As Katelyn and I walked toward the nursery today for the first time, I wondered if I was feeling sad that my baby is old enough to spend two hours of church without me. (Will she survive?? Will I survive??) Well, with all the mixed emotions, I was actually excited that the day had come and she gets to play and eat snacks and not be as quiet as Sunday School and Relief Society require.

After Relief Society, I quickly walked over the the nursery. It was all the way on the other side of the church! Okay, so I was just excited to see how she did since they never came to get me. She made it through her first day with flying colors. She never cried and even wanted to play a little longer. Good girl. She was exhausted and ready for a nap, but we were so happy and I really enjoyed being able to listen to the lessons for the first time in about 6-8 months. Ahh, we had some great lessons today.

Here she is all ready for church. She forgot to smile, but she had a lot on her mind.
